AI Summary

This bill establishes a board of registration of phlebotomists in Massachusetts. The board will set the requirements for licensure, fees, continuing education, and standards of professional and ethical conduct for phlebotomists. The bill defines a phlebotomist as someone responsible for collecting blood samples, separating blood into test tubes, and ensuring samples are properly labeled and sent to the laboratory. The bill requires phlebotomists to be licensed by the board and lays out the application process, including meeting educational and certification standards. The board has the authority to issue licenses, renew licenses, and discipline phlebotomists. The bill also provides a one-year waiver period where experienced phlebotomists can be licensed without meeting the full educational requirements.
